The Plains Art Museum's "Art of the Guitar" exhibit should be seen by anyone who enjoys music. By rough calculation, this includes everyone. You'll see handcrafted instruments and learn about the art of luthiery. Pieces run from the 16th century to the present and showcase the intricacy, beauty of form and beauty of function that go into this most ubiquitous of musical instruments.
A noteworthy fact about the exhibit: many of the pieces were crafted right here in our backyard. The renaissance of luthiery has been driven by local and regional craftspeople, including Fargoans, making this exhibit particularly interesting.
